It was one year ago today that Nanny left us. I was able to take some things - and this is one of things I'll forever keep. When I was little I used to sit on this stool and push it up to her very low coffee table and eat one of my favorite meals she made - triangular fish cakes with brown sugared carrots.
Last year at this time was very difficult. JM told me last year something that has always helped and as always, he is completely right. He told me that all of the bad memories would just be a stepping stone on the way to all the good memories. And a year later - I am able to think of all the good. And I hope to share this little stool with Jenna. :)

JM gave excellent advice. My grandfather died in April. It is so hard to loose a grandparent but it brings back so many good memories that I had not thought about in such a long time!!! I try to hold on to those memories when I get upset and then I usually end up laughing!!
(hugs) I remember that happening and how hard it was for you. I felt the same way when I lost my grandfather, but time does heal all wounds.
